Description
One of the largest non-1:1 scale locomotives I have ever driven. She is built unlike any other, she is square, she is slick, she is smooth, she is docile (if you treat her right) and I am pretty sure she could pull a house off its foundation.Thanks for mister Wheaton for giving me the engine for a day.

Higher adhesion factor than you think.

I'm sure it's good , but the factor would be going down as the inverse square of the original " at least " , and the weight would too . That might be even more telling . Still I'm sure that "little" guy can do some really impressive pulling .

Hardly inverse square......most things stay pretty proportional in miniature except for thermodynamics.....
